Jiang Mian thought she had forgotten everything.

He thought that since he had already died once, he should be calm and unmoved by anything.

But the moment Jiang Mian heard that voice on the other end of the phone, she felt as if the blood had rushed to the top of her head!

Even now, Jiang Mian still remembers the phone call she made to Lu Bozhou before entering the delivery room, and the woman's voice on the other end of the line, which sounded dismissive and amused.

"But Bo Zhou and I have things to do right now, and besides, childbirth doesn't happen that quickly. Why don't you wait a little longer? He'll come over once we're done here."

So much time has passed, and that day was so rushed. Jiang Mian can no longer clearly remember many of the details.

But that voice was on the phone at the time, every word it uttered...!

It's as if it's etched into her bones.

Jiang Mian even clearly remembered the disdainful smile that lingered at the end of her voice, like a small hook.

This is Xu Yawei's voice.

Jiang Mian's mind was in turmoil, as if she could hear the sound of blood rushing to the top of her head.

And in those memories that are now distant past, there are all sorts of chaotic sounds.

"That's her. She does look a lot like Hsu Ya-wei."

'What kind of substitute literature is this? Isn't she the eldest daughter of the Jiang family? Can she really stand this humiliation?'

'I heard she's deeply in love with Lu Bozhou; how pitiful.'

'Xu Yawei is back. Who do you think will win between Jiang Mian and Xu Yawei?'

'Any need to ask? Xu Yawei will beat her at full strength.'

Jiang Mian stood there blankly, and the phone went dead with a beep.

Jiang Mian stood there for a very long time.

Then a soft, sweet voice, still a little sleepy, called to her, "Mianmian, why aren't you sleeping?"

Jiang Mian turned her head sharply and saw Lu Chaochi wearing dinosaur pajamas and barefoot on the ground.

Lu Chaochi raised his hand to rub his eyes, his adorable little face still sleepy.

But soon, Lu Chaochi's eyes widened, and he strode over, "Mianmian, why are you crying?!"

Lu Chaochi's voice was urgent.

Jiang Mian bent down and hugged the warm little body tightly in her arms.

Tears streamed down his face. Although Lu Chaochi didn't know why Jiang Mian was crying, he couldn't help but shed tears along with her.

"Mianmian, don't cry...Mianmian, don't cry..."

Jiang Mian hugged her son, crying silently, with tears streaming down her face.

After a long while, she said very softly, "If I leave, will you come with me?"

But it sounded more like he was talking to himself than asking Lu Chaochi.

That night, Jiang Mian held her son, unable to fall asleep, and finally managed to drift off in the middle of the night.

……

The atmosphere in the upscale private room of the club was very lively.

"Yawei, this is a welcome-back feast for you! Cheers!"

"Yawei, it's been a long time. You've become more and more beautiful."

"Do you plan to go abroad again after returning to China this time?"

Xu Yawei wore a long dress that accentuated her graceful figure, and her makeup was exquisite.

Upon hearing this, he glanced meaningfully at Lu Bozhou, who was sitting quietly beside him.

"This time, it depends on whether anyone is willing to let me stay. I really want to stay."

Those present were all from the upper class of Los Angeles, and each one of them was a shrewd and intelligent person. How could they not understand what he meant when they heard these words?

They all looked at Lu Bozhou with meaningful glances.

Some of the closer friends even joked, "Bo Zhou, are they waiting for your opinion? What do you think?"

The man looked up, his gaze somewhat unfocused, and after a few seconds of pause, he said, "I feel a little sleepy."

Hsu Ya-wei looked somewhat saddened by her refusal to give a direct answer.

Others teased, "Why is Bo Zhou shy? Give us a straight answer!"

Lu Bozhou looked at Xu Yawei, "Didn't Lu Bolin prepare a seat for you?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yawei showed no embarrassment whatsoever. She lowered her eyes and smiled, her eyes full of charm.

“I haven’t had any contact with him for a long time. He’s already married and has children. My relationship with him is all in the past.”

She gently stroked Lu Bozhou's hair with her fair fingers. "Bozhou, you're not still jealous, are you?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd began to jeer.

Lu Bozhou raised the corners of his mouth slightly, the curve of which seemed to carry a hint of sarcasm.

Xu Yawei's voice was soft and alluring, "Don't be jealous. I came back for you. I heard you've been busy with a core project lately and I came back to help you."

Everyone knows that Xu Yawei went abroad for further studies and later stayed to work overseas, where she has done quite well.

Lu Bozhou raised an eyebrow. "You're quite well-informed."

"I'm worried about you," Xu Yawei said, her eyes crinkling.

Lu Bozhou's expression didn't change much. "You're so well-informed, you wouldn't not know I've remarried, would you?"

Everyone felt a little awkward upon hearing this, as they all knew that Lu Bozhou had remarried.

However, he married a poor college student, who turned out to be a nanny...

What's more, I heard that the nanny looks a lot like Xu Yawei!

Lu Bozhou's first wife looked a lot like Xu Yawei, and his second wife was also this type.

Everyone knows what it means: they're just looking for some fun when they're bored, and they're all like Wanwan and Qing.

After all, given Lu Bozhou's wealth and appearance, the fact that he's been a widower for five years is quite outrageous in itself.

Now they've found someone so similar. Who knows if he's been waiting for his deceased wife for five years, or for his unrequited love?

So everyone thought his remarriage was absurd and didn't take it seriously at all.

Xu Yawei wasn't particularly embarrassed; she simply smiled and asked, "What? Bo Zhou, do you want to marry me?"

Xu Yawei laughed and said, "Otherwise, why would you emphasize that you've remarried? I just wanted to come back and help you with your work. I also have to thank you for giving me the opportunity to study abroad."

Upon hearing her words, everyone felt that the White Moonlight truly lived up to her name; her ability to deflect a thousand pounds with four ounces was indeed extraordinary.

No wonder he was able to navigate between the Lu brothers, Lu Bozhou and Lu Bolin, with ease and escape unscathed.

Everyone was waiting for Lu Bozhou's response.

Suddenly, a smile appeared in the deep eyes of this handsome man, whose expression was usually unreadable.

He reached for the wine glass and brought it to his lips.

Before the amber-colored liquor touched his thin lips, a soft voice escaped from those lips: "Help me? Fine, you'd better be able to help me."

When the show ended.

Xu Yawei stood by the door of Lu Bozhou's car.

"Bo, aren't you going to see me off?"

Lu Bozhou looked at her calmly through the lowered car window.

There was no action, nor any word.

Xu Yawei wasn't angry; she still looked at him with a faint smile, "Are you still angry with me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she leaned into the car window.

A sweet fragrance wafted up.

Just as her red lips were about to touch Lu Bozhou's, he turned his face away.

Xu Yawei raised an eyebrow, seemingly unconcerned, her gaze lingering on Lu Bozhou's collar.
